Saintpaulias :)

Hello there! Aren't you glad that it's weekend?

The Friday is dedicated to our dear Saintpaulia flowers. These flowers are also known as African Violets. In my experience, it's tricky to grow this plant. By the time I figured out what suits the plants, I had lost a couple of them!

The plant is a famous indoor plant. I tried keeping the plant on a windowsill; didn't grow well. I moved the plant outdoors, among plants and under the shade of tree. The plant receives direct sunlight (harsh during summer) yet is guarded by the shade of neighboring plants. The plant seemed to have loved this place, and decided to express herself by flaunting flowers.

Stephanie, I love them; but growing them has been tricky for me. Getting to know them by observing their likes and dislikes. Sometimes I wish that the plants could talk. A chit-chat over a cuppa tea would be awesome! :)

About Me

I love to travel, to experiment at my little terrace garden, and to try new recipes at my kitchen. I like to observe the magic of Mother Nature and her elements; learn from them the lessons of life. Well, yes, I too am a software professional, and my hobbies are a stress-buster, and humbly remind me that the world is much bigger than the computer monitor! :-)
